Event ID 12

My DC has this in the event log and it never sync's its time with my external time source.

Time Provider NtpClient: This machine is configured to use the domain hierarchy to determine its time source, but it is the AD PDC emulator for the domain at the root of the forest, so there is no machine above it in the domain hierarchy to use as a time source. It is recommended that you either configure a reliable time service in the root domain, or manually configure the AD PDC to synchronize with an external time source. Otherwise, this machine will function as the authoritative time source in the domain hierarchy. If an external time source is not configured or used for this computer, you may choose to disable the NtpClient.

The Source still says "Free-Running System Clock", which i am assuming is my problem. The registry has addresses of external time servers so why does this say "Free-Running System Clock" How do I change this.?
